Double standards still thrive in America

Former top players, like Robert M. Gates and Donald Rumsfeld before him, with top security clearances and sworn to secrecy, come out with money-making tell-all or tell-most memoirs; as though their revelations do not pertain to the massive national security apparatus they have long supported..

Meanwhile, little players, like Bradley Manning and Edward J. Snowden, jeopardize their lives and livelihoods by their sincere if misguided actions to rectify the national disgrace of our Orwellian Surveillance State.

"Duty" seems to be former Secretary Gates' motive. As one of the cognoscenti-class, he no doubt feels entitled to tattle. Ordinary blokes, however, do not get the same pass when they do similar things in the name of "duty."
